Understand the construction methods to determine the durability and aesthetics of your flag:
Sewn Flags:
Each stripe is sewn separately, and stars are either embroidered or appliqued, offering a high-quality, durable finish.Printed Flags:
Using a dye process, designs are printed onto the fabric. While the flag edges are sewn, individual stripes and emblems are not.Aniline-Dye Process:
This process is used for flags with complex emblems (Military, State, International). The dye penetrates the fabric, ensuring brilliant colors and exacting accuracy.
